Ashwell House Masonic centre, Cranbourne Lodge 1580 - Masonic Temples on Waymarking.com

One of the Masonic Halls in Hertfordshire being part of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Hertfordshire. I am a member of Cranbourne Lodge number 1580 consecrated on 29 March 1876.

Cranboume Lodge was consecrated at the Red Lion, Hatfield by W Bro Dr. F H Wilson‑Illes, Provincial Grand Secretary. The Lodge was sponsored by Hertford Lodge No. 403 and was the tenth Lodge in the Province of Hertfordshire.

At the appeal for funds to build the Grand Temple at Great Queen Street, Cranbourne raised 1250 guineas, being the highest amount in Hertfordshire, and the second highest in the whole of the 5000 or so Lodges in England. For this, the Lodge earned the proud distinction of being the very first to receive the Hall Stone Collarette and Medal from the Pro Grand Master of England, RW Bro Earl Arnhurst.

The Crest and Name of the Lodge is believed to be that of one of the family names of the Marquess of Salisbury of Hatfield House.
